A 2-seater sofa is 150–185 cm wide (59–73 in, about 5–6 ft), 85–105 cm deep (33–41 in) and 80–95 cm tall (31–37 in). In the US the same piece is sold as a loveseat. Between the arms that leaves 115–150 cm of actual seating, which is two adults sitting, not two adults lying down. Those are the ranges the market sells, not a standard anyone enforces.

Where 150–185 cm fits
A 2-seater is the small-living-room and bedroom sofa. It needs a wall of about 175–210 cm once you add 5–10 cm to each side for the room to breathe, and it works in rooms from roughly 10 m² up. In a living room of 16 m² and more it starts to look like a chair, and a 3-seater (200–245 cm) is the better buy. The sweet spot for a rug under it is a 5×8 (152 × 244 cm) with the front legs on.
Width is measured across the arms
The width in a listing is the outside dimension, arms included. Slim metal or wooden arms take 8–12 cm each; fat rolled arms take 20–25 cm each. So two “170 cm” sofas can differ by 25 cm of seat. If the seating width matters, read it from the spec sheet rather than the headline number.
Real examples from the try-on
IKEA GLOSTAD, the compact end of the range at 170 × 76 cm (67 × 30 in), sits in a small room in this case. Anything under about 150 cm is sold as an apartment sofa or a wide armchair and holds one adult comfortably, two only briefly.
